Rouge Jarvis reached out and hugged her daughter, seemingly using all her strength, wanting to blend her into her very bones.
The monsters are gone; from now on, she has ample time to lovingly spoil her darling Tiana.
Tiana Thorne also hugged her back.
She lightly rubbed her cheek against hers; the two tacitly did not mention any of the unpleasant past.
She asked sweetly, "Mom, that apple just now was so sweet, I want another one~"
Only then did Rouge Jarvis let go of her: "Okay, I'll peel an apple for you."
At this moment, Isaac Ford brought over a new fruit knife.
Tiana Thorne took it, but instead of giving it to Rouge, she handed it to Graham Ford beside her: "Dad, can you peel an apple?"
Graham Ford looked at the fruit knife and apple she handed over, then looked into the very same eyes as Rouge's.
Inside was a hint of anticipation, a gentle smile adorning her face, making him feel a touch of sweetness in his heart.
